Sneaky Plod

Here is Derbyshire Plod’s new secret weapon – photographed while I had a fag break on the Via Gellia. Actually that was just an excuse to get up close.

Now, this looks like a blue Vauxhall Movano doesn’t it? DVLA says otherwise. So looks like the Plod did a quick respray and forgot to tell them.

I don’t suppose the new tactics are in any way connected to the new 50mph speed limits which are spreading across the county – unannounced of course.
